Dear friends: Using Linux-Mandrake 7.0 I am trying to use efax (with my Robotics 56k EXT modem) with KSendFax. I have two problems: 1) I can use efax only as root. The usual permissions problem. I have tried to "chmod /usr/bin/efax" but with no success. See below: [sher@adsl-77-232-213 sher]$ efax [sher@adsl-77-232-213 sher]$ efax efax: Sat Feb 19 13:00:31 2000 efax v 0.9 Copyright 1999 Ed Casas efax: Sat Feb 19 13:00:31 2000 efax v 0.9 Copyright 1999 Ed Casas efax: 00:31 compiled Nov 28 1999 20:55:00 efax: 00:31 Error: can't open serial port /dev/modem: Permission denied efax: 00:31 done, returning 2 (unrecoverable error) [sher@adsl-77-232-213 sher]$ 2) Efax insists on using /dev/modem instead of /dev/ttyS1. Do I need to make a symbolic link between /dev/modem and /dev/ttyS1? If so, just how do I do it. Just where is /dev/modem and /dev/ttyS1. I have tried to find them with the "whereis" and "locate" commands but have not been successful. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much.
